getting echoaudio soundcard to work - now it won't record

[Susan Cragin]

Jonathan --
The following is the output from etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, with the 
changes I made to get the indigo io to run.
Just adding  options snd-indigoio index=0 near the bottom works but did 
not survive re-booting.
The indigoio now runs great in the output mode, but I can't get it to 
record, and think I may have another error below.
Also, the little audio icon in the upper right is on "mute" no matter 
what I do.
